Day One Classic to Markdown Migration Tool (Converter)

Node script to convert Day One Classic journal files to plain markdown format for Obsidian, Ulysses and other modern apps.

Usage

1. Clone this repository to your local machine.
2. Install the required dependencies by running npm install.
3. Place your Day One Classic journal files in the journals directory. Not the exported files, but the original XML files (photos and entries folders).
4. Run the script with the following command:

node migrate.js

5. The script will create a new directory called dist containing the converted markdown files.
6. Move the photos folder to the dist directory to keep the images linked in the markdown files.
7. You can now import the markdown files into your preferred app (e.g., Obsidian, Ulysses).
8. Open the markdown files in your preferred app and verify that the conversion was successful by comparing the files counts.
